Cows I saw in Switzerland... I loved the sound of their bells. #procreate #cows https://ift.tt/2xjGqsK

Would it be... irresponsible and obsessive to make some enamel pins of my sister’s rabbit @charliethetrashrabbit ? He’s a sassy marshmallow and I need the whole world to know it. #charliethetrashrabbit #enamelpin https://ift.tt/2IQLJT3

I had such a great time as an exhibitor at LightBox Expo last year and I can’t wait to attend this year in a more relaxed capacity so I can walk around and see everything! Tickets for 2020 just went on sale - check out @lightboxexpo for more info! #LBX2020 https://ift.tt/3ay767E

Ocelot from the Edinburgh National History Museum from... shit... maybe 2014? I spent three weeks in France, England, and Scotland to tour as many Nat. history museums as I could fit in and had a BLAST. #pentelaquash https://ift.tt/383MLoU

For most of my life I’ve felt that drawing/painting was my reason for living and at the same time (like most artists) I’m dissatisfied with everything I make. Taking a year off from making art taught me that life is big and beautiful and making art should be the result of my experience and not the reason for it. #graphite #acrylic #frostedacetate #oldwork https://ift.tt/2u9pZyk

I took two years off from shows and almost a year off from making art in general for a variety of reasons and the insights I gained were invaluable. That time is coming to an end as I gear up for my first big show in years and I’m excited to see what the future holds! As a palette/palate cleanser here’s a look back at some work over the years. #pentelpocketbrushpen https://ift.tt/2UjOovC
